Madeline’s world shatters when her first time is sold to the highest bidder and she’s forced into the arms of a brooding, wounded war hero. Betrayed by her family, haunted by small-town gossip, and thrust into a battle for her own name, Madeline must fight for survival—and for a love that might be her only way out. But in a town built on secrets and power, can she trust anyone, even the man who claims her as his wife?
General Grant McAllister won a war for his country, only to have the President threaten his family and demand his surrender. The woman he loved is now the First Lady, and his own wife is a pawn in a deadly game of power and betrayal. Torn between loyalty, vengeance, and the lives of everyone he loves, Grant must decide: obey, rebel—or rewrite the fate they wrote for him.
